Britain's Foreign Office said Saturday that "Russia's response doesn't change the facts of the matter - the attempted assassination of two people on British soil, for which there is no alternative conclusion other than that the Russian State was culpable". "We're taking it very seriously as I think are many others".

It is the largest expulsion of diplomats from Britain since the Cold War.

Lavrov said British accusations of Moscow's involvement are meant to distract public attention from the U.K's troubled exit from the European Union. Moreover, the British Council is to suspend its activities in Russian Federation "due to the unsettled status".

"We demand that material proof be provided of the allegedly found Russian trace", said Nebenzia.

U.K. Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson called relations between the two countries "exceptionally chilly" and said Russian Federation should "go away and shut up".

On Thursday May visited Salisbury, meeting police and medics and viewing the site where the Skripals were found critically ill.

In a strongly worded statement to the House of Commons, May said the "military grade" nerve agent used in the attack had been identified as Novichok, a substance developed in the Soviet Union in the 1970s.
